more drivers does not mean sound will be better

final audio tuned their 1 driver to perfection

I agree. I have a couple of single DD earphones that I absolutely love and consider among the best in the market. With regards to single BA IEMs, I feel that I have yet to hear one that really has adequate end to end extension. I'm not talking about the musicality of the tuning, I acknowledge that some of the single BA FAD earphones have really exquisite tuning. Nothing against single Drivers, love them in fact, just that the physical properties of BAs often lead to them not being able to cover the whole range perfectly, and so I wouldn't use them to evaluate equipment :)

Oh yes the ocharaku Sakura is lovely too.

No bass AT ALL.

 
Not true AT ALL
 
The ER4-XR is incredibly close to the Harmon target curve. It's not a bass head IEM, but not everyone is looking for that.

I've come extremely close to pulling the trigger on taobao, but I'd like to believe that purchasing it in the UK with whatever price bump, will be cheaper than buying abroad and getting shafted with import tax.

Saying that, the trigger finger is starting to twitch, but hopefully patience will payoff.
